Re: PO has me PO'd
Started a new tradition in the family over the 4 day Holiday, since my boys get antsy I've decided to assign projects that I want to get done. Sorta like a Pops to do list.
My workshop doors have been in need of repair for a long time and with winter coming on I made the leap. First estimate was for 6 large, second estimate was for 4. Holy crap! Total build for materials was 700.00, plus feeding these guys for 4 days! They invented a contest to see who can empty the most plates. Dam kids Well, a day later and I had the heat down to 65° and was comfortable in a t-shirt...no more auxiliary heater Now I can get back to work on the truck   Notice the rag stuffed under the door for insulation and the blow foam. lol

Re: PO has me PO'd
Door looks good! So does that side shot of the half top. What did you have to put under your mounts to get her to line up?
I've got to get a new garage door on mine too, the spring broke last year and me or the boy are the only ones that can open it now. Oh well, another project to put on the back burner. Might get some of it done during the xmas stand down.

Wow, I have to say originally living in Ohio that's a common site for most old vehicles. I got sick of dealing with that 25 years ago and started buying our cars out west and hauling or driving them back East. Got sick of doing that and just decided to move to Arizona to be closer to all the rust free cars Not to mention it's in the 70's here,,,,in December  Sorry you probably didn't want to hear that.

Re: PO has me PO'd
Awhile back you were having trouble lining up your body lines due to the body mounts and then when you put the half top on the bolt holes didn't line up. How did you get her all lined out? I ask because my body lines are still not great and I think its due to the cab mounts not being shimmed right or something.

Adding the 1/2 top only proved my problem, as it sits 1/2" back towards the rear of the truck only on the passenger side, sooooo, lowering the "A" post patch panel, rocker backing plate, floor or all of the above should resolve the SNAFU. AND bring the half top forward the needed demension. Just gotta figure out what moves what where, and by how much...seems simple in theory lol I don't know exactly what you did so far, so it would be hard to give you an exact answer, only tips on where the problem may lie. Post up specific problem areas and I'm sure we all can come up with an answer Quote:
